A will could be problematic. One legal issue that can lead to litigation
is when a decedent had a valid will, but another legal instrument was
later introduced that made significant changes. In such a case, it will
become necessary to determine if the subsequent document(s) was legally
executed, or if there was undue influence from another party. Questions
about the mental capacity of the testator (person who signs the will)
will be presented to the court. In some cases, a person gives all their
assets and money to a caregiver, friend, church, charity or other party,
leaving the original heirs little or nothing. These family members may
contest the will and allege there was undue influence brought upon the
testator. Breaches of fiduciary duty, mismanagement of the estate, or
disputes concerning the deceased person's representative are just
a few issues that could arise that will lead to the need for litigation.
